Re: Sinister: "What is the use of a book", thought Alice...

I couldn't stand seeing some egomanic NME journo cashing in, with a badly researched glossy, stuffed with old reviews and press releases. Actually, I get the feeling that if anyone's going to write a book, it'll be the band themselves. And I'd much rather read some beautiful lies about Dishwashers and All night cafes than about what really happened anyway... Then she said: <<I know he's been mentioned many times before, but I bought a Nick Drake cd with the pittance I got of Echo for selling them my old rubbish cds and it is ace. Especially 'Hazy Jane II' which is very B&S.> I've probably mentioned this before, but I'm producing a play based on Nick Drake's life. Only names & details are changed, 'cause I don't want Gabrielle Drake to sue my arse off. I've called the main character Sebastian, and the love interest Belle, obviously, and as a result, the play's getting more and more B&S by the second, which wasn't really the idea... Anyway, if anyone's got any good ideas, please e-mail me, as it's looking a bit shite at the moment. And if anyone wants to help ( he said desperately) please look at my production company's site: PISH! http://members.aol.com/Pishco/index.html Right. Plug over. Sorry Honey. Seb PS, Are you still writing that P!O!P! book Duke? I'd love to buy a copy. +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
